Since 1998 Inoxa has been dedicated to quality and innovation in the field of furniture accessories, creating products that improve people's daily lives, designed to meet the needs for functionality, aesthetics and sustainability that characterize contemporary living.

In fact, Inoxa produces accessories for kitchen cabinets such as baskets, pull-out columns, corner baskets, and coordinated lines of accessories for the bedroom and bathroom, solutions that interpret and combine the need to optimize space with practicality and functionality, but also with the pleasure of modern and refined design.

Innovation and customization are the pillars of Inoxa's business strategy; we talk about it with Eng. Angela Crispiani, the company's Quality, Graphics and Marketing Manager.

At the last Sicam, innovation was the key word that emerged in all sectors, which makes one understand the great research work by companies in the subcontracting sector to develop new products and study new processes.

Innovation represents one of the fundamental cornerstones for Inoxa. Participation in Sicam confirmed how dynamic and future-oriented the industry is, pushing companies like ours to focus on new solutions that can meet the demands of an increasingly demanding market.

In our case, innovation takes the form of both product and process innovation. On the product front, we are constantly working to introduce new collections that combine aesthetics and functionality, with a particular focus on sustainable materials and cutting-edge design. In parallel, we invest in technologies that improve production processes, increasing efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and ensuring ever higher quality.

New technologies offer three-dimensional solutions in various fields of application, especially in the area of surfaces. How do you think they can be incorporated into your production reality?
 

Three-dimensional technologies represent an extraordinary opportunity for us, even in the area of surfaces. The ability to create customized textural effects, reliefs, and textures offers new scenarios for design, making each product unique and strongly characterized.

We firmly believe that innovation is a shared journey that involves not only our internal team, but also our partners and customers. Therefore, we foster a continuous exchange of ideas and feedback, actively participate in trade fairs such as Sicam, and engage in ongoing training of our resources. Through this integrated strategy, we aim to meet the challenges of the future with creativity, determination and a strong focus on added value for our customers.

Ecodesign is the common thread that ran through all the departments present at Sicam. What are the necessary elements for a sustainable product to really have all the requirements?

Sustainability is not just a trend, but a responsibility that our company has wholeheartedly embraced. Ecodesign is where innovation, aesthetics and respect for the environment meet, and our commitment is to make products that are truly sustainable at every stage of their life cycle.

The central theme of the upcoming interzum 2025 will be “Rethinking Resources: circular and biobased solutions.” Is your company already prepared for this change?

We are fully aware of the centrality of the “Rethinking Resources” theme that will characterize the upcoming Interzum 2025. Our company has already initiated projects to integrate biobased materials, making use of FSC-certified raw materials.
We are also committed to obtaining certifications that attest to our commitment to sustainability such as FSC for responsible forest management and Product Carbon Footprint; we will continue to expand this area to ensure high standards.

Addressing change requires a collective effort. Our strategy aims to create shared value by responding to environmental challenges with practicality and innovation. By integrating ecodesign and sustainability, we are poised to actively contribute to the future of the industry by embracing the transition to a more ethical and resource-friendly model..

Customization is a very strong trend in recent years, present not only at the Salone del Mobile in Milan and thus with the finished product, but also at Sicam. A product that is expressed through finishes, textures, colors, custom made products. This is also a theme very dear to Inoxa.

Personalization is one of the main thrusts of our business strategy. We understand how important it is for customers to have unique products that express specific identities and needs, and we work to offer solutions that fully meet this need.

Custom-made products represent one of our strengths. We are committed to providing custom-designed solutions, starting from the customer's needs and accompanying them at every stage, from the choice of materials to prototyping to final realization. This approach not only allows us to meet the most complex requests, but also to create a deeper bond with the customer, making him an active part of the creative process.

Ultimately, our approach to customization is guided by the belief that every product should tell a unique story, the story of the customer who chose it. Through innovation, listening and flexibility, we aim to create solutions that are not only beautiful and functional, but that represent a perfect synthesis of aesthetics and functionality, what we like to call “beautiful-useful.”

The latest economic data is certainly not exciting; in fact, negative signals are coming in from all sectors or indicating at best “cautious optimism” for the future. Your analysis of the market and possible future scenarios.

This scenario certainly requires companies in the wood-furniture supply chain to take a strategic approach geared toward flexibility and resilience, with a strong focus on international dynamics and changes in consumer behavior.

In particular, raw material and energy costs continue to pose significant challenges, requiring careful management to maintain competitiveness. Despite economic pressures, however, consumers and business partners are showing a growing interest in sustainable products, prompting companies to invest in green certifications and innovations. Customers seek unique experiences and tailored solutions, and the ability to meet these needs has become a crucial competitive factor.

Looking ahead, we believe the key to coping with economic changes is to expand presence in growing markets, improve production efficiency and product quality to maintain a competitive advantage. Also constantly analyze geopolitical and economic scenarios to anticipate risks and seize emerging opportunities.

Although the current environment presents significant challenges, we are confident that a strategic approach, based on innovation, sustainability and adaptability, can ensure stable growth in the medium to long term.
